If it sends keysyms for those keys (ie they're really part of the 
keyboard) you might be able to use 'hotkey' to do it. Try 'showkey' (may 
need to be on the console) to see if you get key events from those keys 
when pressed.

Different issue. I'd be surprised if an iBook keymap wasn't floating 
around - have you tried Google? If nothing else, you can probably get 
one out of the Yellow Dog XFree86 packages - I'd be surprised if they 
didn't have any.
